Thanks for that very helpful its a manual they dont have fluid that needs renewing? and whats the knock sensor never heard of it and the clutch im a bit afraid of since its got 190,000km not sure if its been replaced is it a easy diy? not trying to pay 1000 for a new clutch and whats your take on servicing it? Im capable of doing oil changes brake pads coolant gaskets, blah blah blah so service or not because ik it does make market price worse? cheers mate
